Max & Minny: Redefining Pet Comfort with Design

Polona Pakiz's Award-Winning Pet Bed Design

Polona Pakiz, a Slovenian designer, has created an innovative pet bed design, Max & Minny, that seamlessly blends functionality and style. Inspired by her own pets and the lack of aesthetically pleasing pet beds, Pakiz has crafted a bed that not only provides comfort to pets but also enhances the aesthetics of any living space.

The Max & Minny pet bed is a unique blend of modern design and practicality. Unlike traditional pet beds, Max & Minny is designed to be a stylish addition to any living space. The bed's framework is made from plywood and veneer, materials that are both durable and environmentally friendly. The bed's pillow is made from high-quality, breathable foam, providing a comfortable and healthy lying surface for pets. For pets with arthritis or allergies, the pillow can be replaced with a memory foam variant.

One of the standout features of Max & Minny is its adaptability. The pillow cover can be washed, replaced, or changed in colour as needed, allowing pet owners to match the bed with their existing furniture or wall colour. The bed's back is made from Plexiglas, which can also be replaced at any time. With the right combination of veneer, Plexiglas, and pillow colour, Max & Minny can be a beautiful addition to any apartment or house.

Max & Minny is not just a product of thoughtful design, but also of meticulous craftsmanship. The bed is made of three layers of 3mm plywood and veneer, which are glued together and then bent on a mould to achieve the desired form. The medium-sized bed measures approximately 1100mmx600mmx420mm, with larger and smaller sizes available to accommodate pets of different sizes.

In conclusion, Max & Minny is a testament to Polona Pakiz's innovative approach to design. By combining style, functionality, and comfort, she has created a pet bed that not only caters to the needs of pets but also enhances the aesthetics of living spaces. With its award-winning design and high-quality materials, Max & Minny is set to redefine pet comfort and style.
